Dear Pirro et al.,
To quote Jane Austen; You shall not, for the sake of one individual, change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavor to persuade yourself or me that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of danger, security of happiness.

Pirro: "Mr President, there is in this room a group of people who love you, who believe in you, and who are so proud to be in this Oval Office and to be part of this amazing day because you have changed the course of America."

OTD in 1906 Hannah Arendt was born.
"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact & fiction and the distinction between true & false no longer exist".

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?
MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

"The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion."

It's not just what Marjorie Taylor Green is saying, but HOW she is saying it. The tone of voice, her demeanor. She's speaking like a normal person. So apparently, when she speaks the #Truth using #facts, she needs no nasty language or theatrics. I find that fascinating. 🤔 #TrumpShutdown

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that.
The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom."
Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
